The object of the present invention is to provide an allergen-reduced
royal jelly, having less fear of causing allergic symptoms, obtained by
reducing allergens and keeping the useful pharmacological actions of
royal jelly, a process for producing the same, and its uses. The present
invention solves the above object by providing an allergen-reduced royal
jelly where the amount of water-soluble proteins is reduced to less than
50% (w/w) to the amount of total proteins; a process for producing the
allergen-reduced royal jelly comprising the steps of separating a royal
jelly into a precipitate and a supernatant comprising water-soluble
proteins by adding water and centrifuging, collecting low molecular
substances by eliminating high molecular substances comprising
water-soluble proteins from the resulting supernatant using
ultra-filtration or gel filtration chromatography, and mixing the
resulting low molecular substances with the aforesaid precipitate; a
composition comprising the allergen-reduced royal jelly; and the uses of
the composition for foods, feeds, baits, pet foods, and cosmetics.
